If your pot is around 3 gallon let plant stay there. If smaller I would transplant with extra care into 5 gallon. Fill pot 1/3 up, place plant on top and gently fill in sides. Jock has a 11-13 weeks flower time so it needs space.

I use mycorrhizae for roots. I like Great White. No flower taba use bloom supplements.

I germinate seeds in final pots without anything just the seed.

You can place 4 plants in that tent I think but these 2 would be too advanced with just one light with 2 short and 2 tall plants.

Jock did take me that long to finish, but boy was it worth the wait. You will have a happy new year.

I understand funds. When I first started I was on a shoestring budget, but I learned quick that more light was needed to get enough bud to offset the cost of everything. Look into the Viparspectra 300W LED It would be a great companion to your light and is less expensive less

I have usually grown Northern Lights auto which I have flowered for about 8 weeks. I think the JH has a sativa content? maybe this takes longer. Guess I will have to wait and try not to run out in the meantime. Hoping the JH will be good for pain relief. ... moreI have usually grown Northern Lights auto which I have flowered for about 8 weeks. I think the JH has a sativa content? maybe this takes longer.

Hi Kipper, I'm not the auto expert here but I know the basics. Best case is not to transplant when growing autos. Start your seeds or rapids rooters in your final container so you don't have to stress them by transplanting.

But in your case my opinion is to transplant to 3 or 4 gallon pots now. Autos are ready to flower anytime between 3 and 5 weeks and already outgrowing the containers you have. As for the flower tabs, that is risky in my opinion because you won't have control over the amount of nutrients they get. Different strains need different amounts of nutrients so a slow release tab is not your best bet. Go with a proven nutrient line like GH or Fox Farms and start with 1/4 to 1/2 of the recommended doses then adjust as needed.

Cheers

Transplanting was my worry, after my first few attempts I have always started in the final pots. These pots are small to keep the height down but since I started LST on my plants that's not so much problem. Not sure I can leave them while I have these new bigger root pouch things to try out though.

Bill59 pretty much nailed it. Autos are specifically for quick grows, and while transplanting when done correctly should have almost zero effect on your girls, it’s an unnecessary risk. They look healthy, stay away from the root extenders and other additives, just let the plants do their thing. I personally don’t like the tabs, but to each his own and if they work for you then stick with them. Personally, I’d also suggest one of the more popular nutrient lines, starting weak watching for burn, and adjust from there giving them as much as they can take up until your final flushing before harvest. Happy growing!

That is about the size of a "trade gallon" so it's not that bad. I would set those pots into a bigger container. Doesn't have to be buried all the way down. The roots will go through and feed off of outter soil. Transplanting is possible but risky at this stage.

OK, I agree with everything that's been said by everyone above. That being said, this auto is not at a stage where it's too late to transplant, but it is very close. You have 2 options for transplant.

1 - transplant as normal and use the root extender to encourage new root growth. This will also aid in recovery from the stress.

2 - Follow SBL's suggestion and just bury the current pot in soil most of th way so the roots can find a way to their new home as they grow through the bottom holes and into the new soil.

There are risks with either method. The risk with option 1 is that the shock may delay the beginning of the flower stage. The risk with option 2 is the roots that continue to grow in the inside container will become rootbound and reduce the overall size of the plant.

Either way, it sounds like you have a choice to make, because keeping it solely in the existing container will definitelly reduce the max size capability of this plant and should not be an option..

1. I believe your tent is 3x3 and that size will take 4 plants. If smaller then I do not know but guess 2 plants. .

2. Ligths should be around 300W LED for a 3ft.x3ft. but more is much better. I have 2 300W LeDs in my 3ft.x3ft. HB is an expert in LED so take his advice. I am just telling you what my tent has. In fact I wonder if 4 would be optimal i.e. 1 per plant.

3. Your pot looks like it is clay with a glaze. If so and the glaze is on the inside then the plant should slide out of the pot. Hit top of pot with a hammer to loosen it if needed. One broken pot is worth a Jock. Have bigger pot ready.

I have gone with a careful transplant with a little bit of root powder (half a sachet each plant). the old pots were plastic but they came out ok, roots already curling round the bottom of the pot so glad I did what you guys said. Fingers crossed for the next few days.

Answers and comments have given me plenty to think about, lights, etc. but thats probably for a new thread.

If you are going to transplant you need to do it now before they start to flower. Imo they should be fine in the containers they are in now. These plants look good and healthy, so the choice is yours. Peace

By 2 gallon pouches does that translate to cloth pots in the no kings English? I just started using Smart Pots this grow because of all the positive reviews and the difference in growth between Smart Pots and the plastic nursery pots I was using is huge. I grow in coco but I bet the results are the same for soil. I think 3 liters is a small pot so if you have to transplant consider the Smart Pots or try them next time.

I think they are almost the same as the smart pots you talk about. They are a sort of cloth material made from recycled something, supposed to breathe and allow "air pruning" of the roots? They are sold as "2 gallon" which I believe is a trade gallon of about 2.6 litres so they are about 5.2 litres capacity. They measure 8" diameter and 8" high and I say about 1.15 imperial gallons if you are English like me. I have transplanted into these pots and after they stalled for a couple of days they now seem to be thriving. I am hoping for great things.
